The president of the Tangtang Group, a decisive and iron-fisted figure, was actually played around by a girl, and might even have been left with a psychological shadow. How ridiculous is that?
Qin Xin couldn't help but smile as she watched.
In fact, Qin's mother took the initiative to tell her about this matter with a bit of intention behind it.
The gap between the two sisters was not only due to the idle gossip in their lives but also because of their differences in status. In terms of position and achievements, they were indeed worlds apart.
Qin Yue was so high and mighty, as if she were above the mundane world, so distant that it felt unfamiliar.
And the fact that she was deceived in love just happened to bring her down from her pedestal. After learning about this incident, Qin Xin suddenly realized that her sister was also human, capable of stumbling and making mistakes.
This could somewhat bridge the distance between the sisters.
In any case, to help the sisters reconcile, Qin's parents racked their brains and tried every possible means. Now, everything was ready, just waiting for the final push.
[Qin's Mom]: By the way, you have no classes on Saturday, and your sister isn't working either. I happen to be free, so I'll come over to see you both.
[Qin's Mom]: It's a pity your dad is busy, but that's okay. At the end of the month, our whole family can get together.
After reading these "family letters," many thoughts flashed through Qin Xin's mind.
She never expected that her seemingly perfect sister would have such a messy day. Being toyed with by a girl was truly laughable.
This kind of situation only indicated that her sister had issues with her judgment in choosing people, unlike herself.
Qin Xin thought of her senior, Ningning, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although she spoke in a detached manner, she always inadvertently revealed her tenderness and thoughtfulness.
Now that was a good candidate for a wife.
Qin Xin couldn't help but smile, unexpectedly finding her first victory in the subtle competition between sisters to be in the choice of a romantic partner.
Then Qin Xin thought again, her sister was indeed a bit weak in this matter. If it were her, there would be no need to say anything; she would just pin that girl down and give her a good lesson. Would she still dare to mess with her afterward?
So, her methods were lacking.
Thinking of this, Qin Xin asked her mom about it.
[Xin]: So now, how is the situation being handled?
[Qin's Mom]: Not too clear. Yueyue said she has already dealt with it, and there are basically two outcomes.
[Qin's Mom]: One is to completely eliminate the problem, making the other party pay some price and then keeping a distance. But according to the doctor, that possibility is low.
[Qin's Mom]: The other possibility is to bring that girl to her home and deal with her thoroughly.
I see, well, that's a method similar to my own.
Qin Xin put down her phone, feeling an inexplicable sense of recognition for her sister.
But still, as I said, there is a difference in judgment when it comes to choosing people. She believed that no matter who her sister chose, they would definitely not be as good as Ningning.
Who could resist a pure and beautiful girl with a youthful face?
[Qin's Mom]: By the way, do you have class tomorrow afternoon? Would it be too late to go back after class? You still have to pack your luggage.
Qin Xin frowned; she almost forgot that she needed to pack her things from the dormitory and move to her sister's house.
[Xin]: After class tomorrow morning, I will go ask the counselor for leave.
...
The first two days of the first week of classes were indeed uneventful.
Bai Ningning originally planned to review her sophomore coursework. However, as she read, she started to feel a bit sleepy.
Well, since the required courses had all been covered, and the final exam would definitely be fine, she might as well spend the time she regained playing on her phone.
So, Bai Ningning comfortably played various newly released mobile games.
What's wrong with that? This isn't called neglecting her studies—her older sister said that next month they would form a team and assign her a mobile game project. Playing games now is called market research.
Thursday quickly passed, and Friday morning's classes also dragged on.
"Bai Dayuan, are you coming out to play this weekend?" Guan Qian asked her, "A new murder mystery game has opened next to the school. Want to go play?"
"No," Bai Ningning politely declined, "I'm busy, I have things to do."
At least she thought she was being polite.
"Alright then, we'll go play. By the way, Bai Dayuan, you really are busy. Since the semester started, you've had all sorts of things to do," Guan Qian mumbled.
Bai Ningning nodded seriously: "Yes, I am indeed very busy."
To be honest, this wasn't an excuse; she had already planned that after returning home at noon today, she would talk more with Qin Yue and try to "treat" her own issues.
And talking more meant she might face some backlash. Once she faced backlash, she might end up lying in bed for half a day.
So, she couldn't make plans for this weekend.
"See you next week, bye."
"See you next week."
On this Friday, the second year might be the earliest to have a break, as other grades had classes in the afternoon. Bai Ningning walked briskly back to Shuiyue Tingyuan before lunchtime.
Qin Yue had just gotten up not long ago, sitting in the living room in a loose bathrobe. Seeing the girl come home, she was slightly surprised: "So early?"
Didn't they say classes had started?
"Yeah,"
Bai Ningning put down her things and gently sat down on the other side of the sofa. "I came back early because I don't have classes this afternoon and wanted to catch lunch."
Actually, she didn't really need to save on meal expenses right now; her older sister had given her several red envelopes, so her living expenses were quite sufficient for the time being.
"No classes, so you came back?" Qin Yue casually said, "Don't you have anything else to do?"
"Not today," Bai Ningning replied calmly. "There aren't any important classes, no electives, and school activities won't start recruiting until next week."
Qin Yue raised an eyebrow.
She hadn't really listened closely and wasn't quite sure what the girl had been chattering about. But the point was, Bai Ningning had said a lot. Usually, when asked a question, she would respond with just a few words, but today she had taken the initiative to say so much, as if she wanted to clarify the reason behind every word.
Qin Yue felt something was off—this was very unusual!
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Bai Ningning speak up again: "What are we having for lunch today?"
That cold little face and indifferent tone made it seem like she wasn't asking her older sister, who supported her, but rather her cook.
Hiss... Phew.
Calm down, little green tea usually speaks like this too; it's just her normal way of expressing herself.
Qin Yue took a moment to collect herself and actually answered her: "A few light stir-fried dishes, unsweetened congee, crystal buns, and a baguette."
She usually got up late on her days off, so lunch was generally eaten as breakfast.
But Bai Ningning got up early; she had already eaten breakfast, so of course, she wanted a proper lunch. Moreover, baguettes are a Western food that is said to be particularly hard, which isn't suitable for a patriotic girl like her.
So, the girl raised her eyebrows, glanced sideways at her older sister, and her cherry lips moved slightly as she said coldly, "I don't want to eat baguette; let's change it."
Qin Yue was slightly taken aback, then laughed, her laughter cold.
Wow, so you really think I'm your cook just because I replied to you, huh?
You don't want the baguette, huh? Fine!
